7 Types Of People You'll Meet in College
Education USA

In life, a lot of folks are gonna lead you astray and try to take advantage of you. Fruit are no different. In fact, one could make the argument that fruits are perfect analogies for the human condition, sweet and ripe things living in a world where their only purpose is to be born so that they one day may die.

So here’s The 7 Fruits You’ll Meet In College!

(arranged by trustworthiness)

1. The Apple

Aw, the good old apple. Reliable, loyal, and an all around good time. The apples of your life are always there for you, always ready to lend a hand and assure you that life’s gonna be okay. That is, until they drop onto your head and reconfigure your entire brain structure. We in the business call them “Steves”. Never trust a Steve.

2. Pineapple

Fun, feisty, and always up for a party. They may seem prickly and distant on the outside, but once you get to know them, they’re sweet as can be. Just be careful you don’t upset them before you know their emotionally vulnerable side. A recent study showed that 75% of pineapples know jujitsu. Be warned.

3. Carambola

More popularly known as the “starfruit”, these guys are the underdog. They’re quiet, sure, but once they open up, it’s a flavor explosion in your face! They also have a criminal record. Just saying. They’re not allowed to apply for a loan or rent an apartment. I'M WARNING YOU. DO NOT LET A CARAMBOLA CO-SIGN LOAN. IT IS A TRAP.

4. Juicy Fruit

Not a real fruit and they suck after five seconds. They’re not real friends. Get rid of them immediately.

5. Apricot

They’ll steal your girlfriend and your credit card information. Apricots are thieves and swindlers and have no respect for anyone. I know. I had this friend Kevin who was a real apricot. He always made fun of my glasses. You think they’d be nice and soft, but no. They’ll screw you over harder than the American people screwed Al Gore in 2000. Avoid at all costs.

6. Pomegranate

There’s a reason they’re associated with death. They’re perfect and sweet and nice and get good grades and are friends with everybody. Just thinking about people like that makes me want to chug a gallon of bleach. Ugh.

7. Newt Gingrich

Looks like a moldy peach, but lets you cheat off him in calc. B- friend.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
